Meghan Chase has never quite fit in. Since her father vanished when she was six, an unsettling feeling has followed her, a sense that she doesn't belong in the ordinary world. On her sixteenth birthday, this feeling becomes a terrifying reality when her younger brother is stolen by an unseen force, replaced by a monstrous changeling. To rescue him, Meghan must follow his captors into a world she never knew existed: the Nevernever, the realm of the fey. Here, she discovers a truth that shatters her reality - she is the daughter of a mythical faery king, and her heritage makes her a pawn in an ancient and escalating war.

Forced to navigate a realm where illusions thrive and trust is a dangerous commodity, Meghan finds an unlikely ally in a prankster friend she thought she knew. Her journey into the heart of Faery reveals a new and deadly threat, a breed of iron fey born from technology and human belief that is systematically destroying the old magic. To save her brother and survive this treacherous world of warring courts and powerful magic, Meghan must embrace her own power and confront a mysterious evil that no other faery dares to face, a path that will force her to decide where her loyalties truly lie.
